I'm a newbie to openvms.
Currently,I'm testing a java program on 7.3.
After i installed RTE 1.3.1(the system has sdk1.1.8 also)
I got **Out of memory,exiting** when running the program.
The following messages are from show proc/cont:
State CUR Working set 147
Cur/base priority 6/4 Virtual pages 10494
Current PC 80119B18
CPU time 0 00:00:06.12
Current PSL 00000003 Direct I/O 1354
Current user SP 7AEBA780 Buffered I/O 7292
PID 2180023F
Page faults 24806
UIC [DECSS7] Event flags E0190006
C0000000
Is it normal to have such a high page faults?
and how to understand event flags?
If it is really caused by memory allocation problem,what's the command to adjust configuration?
Or if not,anyone have some idea?

Increase the page file quotum PGFLQUOTA, and the working set WSEXTENT for the account that you run the program with. Or ask the system manager, if you're not allowed to do it yourself.
To increase the values you have to use the authorize program :
$ SET DEF SYS$SYSTEM
$ MCR AUTHORIZE
AUTH> SHOW myuserid
AUTH> MODIFY myuserid /PGFLQUOTA=....
AUTH> EXIT
$ LOGOFF
Login again en try to run the program

I forgot...
The high page fault rate may be caused by the program that's being loaded. Another option is that your working set is too small too keep the core of the program in memory. So pages keep being loaded in and out of (physical) memory.
The performance guide is a good resource about the working of OpenVMS memory management :

And the Event flags are just two clusters of bit-flags, 64 in total. Unless you know why the program uses flags, the information is not really useful.
